Hello,

 

Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. Any cure depends on the disease, not just the symptom. In order to cure halitosis, you need to know what is causing it. It can be dental caries or abscess, gingivitis, tonsilloliths (deposits in the tonsillar crypts), stomach ulcers, liver problems, kidney problems, smoking, dry mouth, sinus infection, gastroesophageal reflux disease, postnasal drip, and probably a hundred others. Curing the underlying disorder cures the halitosis. Have you had a checkup with your dentist and your doctor to look for underlying causes? That would be the first step.
